Answer 1

Here is your Answer Mate

Answer: 27.53%

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question,

Total Oranges Raman bought = 1200

Now the question says that he brought oranges at rupees 4 per dozen that means,

total number of oranges / 12,

$\frac{1200}{12}$ = 100 dozens

That means cost of 100 dozens = 4 * 100 = ₹400

That means cost of 1200 oranges = ₹400

 

Now as he is selling oranges 2 for rupees 1 then

SP or Selling Price of 720 oranges =  ₹360   (dividing 720 by 2)

Now remaining Oranges = 1200 - 720 = 480

He sells them at 5 for rupees 2,

So,

$\frac{480}{5}$ = ₹96 * 2

= ₹ 192

Total SP =  360 + 192 = ₹ 552

Since SP is greater than CP therefore there is Profit

Profit = SP - CP

         = 552 - 400

         = ₹152

Profit or gain percentage = $\frac{Profit}{CP} * 100$

                                          = $\frac{152}{552} * 100$

After Reducing we get =     $\frac{1900}{69}$

                                      = 27.53%
